Add functionality for full screen mode for OBS

When recording in Autodesk Maya for Mac in full screen mode I don't know or understand how to add it for a recording - is this something that exists or should it be a feature

Full-screen isn't supported as well as it should be, and it's not clear if all desired features are possible on top of a full-screen app. If you share your entire desktop instead without using fullscreen mode you'll see both keys and mouse clicks and they should both be recorded/screencasted. It's the best workaround at the moment.

What I've seen is that keycasting works over full-screen apps unless the app or another app is using secure entry or otherwise messing with the input event stream. However, screencasting/screensharing software won't capture it.

I have some ideas when it comes to potential fixes to enable this but limited time to dig into it. Further technical ideas or a PR would be welcome.
